Dive Captain: Lloyd Borrett, VSAG Boat: "Raydon", Lloyd Borrett's Haines Hunter V17L, 130HP, Sorrento Tony captained "Raydon" as Cheryl, Stephen and I went in to look under Rye Pier, checkout the mini wall built by Michael Mallis, and follow the trail out to Elsa's Reef. There were quite a few other divers under the pier, so we didn't spend long there. We found large schools of small fish and squid off the end of the pier just out from the mini wall. But on this dive we spent longer on Elsa's Reef. I kept trying to interact with a little octopus, but Cheryl kept scaring it into hiding. So I then went and watched the fish interacting with the mirror. With air low, it was time to surface. But at 3 metres I came across a large jellyfish and played with it for a while before finally surfacing. Yet another great dive. Tony reported that JL had already headed in, and we did too. We headed back to The Scuba Doctor to unload and get air fills. JL and his boat load of divers had already all departed. I went out the back and shucked my catch bag of scallops. So in summary, we'd decided to go in spite of an iffy weather forecast and all had a wonderful day. It's days like this that make it great to be a VSAGer and get to have fun together enjoying the delights of Port Phillip.
